I Did Not Belong to This World

I am not at home here
In a world changing fast
Where everyone's in a hurry and nothing remains
I am not at home here
in this asphalt maze
where the pleasure of slowness has gone

I am not at home here
where they give out to be poor
but they squander their wage for a phone
I am not at home here
where the young search for fame
but forget to become men

So many miles I've travelled for
So many countries I consider'd me home
But it's a direction that's driving us all
To a place where we'll be alone

I am not at home here
where music is a pose
and the gigs are now called shows
I am not at home
where the books are downloaded
and art has become an app

I am not at home here
where people no longer talk
but check out their facebook profile
I am not at home here
where you're a friend of someone
until you tread on their feet

So many miles I've travelled for
So many countries I consider'd me home
But it's a direction that's driving us all
To a place where we'll be alone

I am not at home here
in a town turned to city
that keeps on forgettin' its roots
I am not at home here
and I never will be
cause I did
yes I did
cause I did not belong to this world

So many miles I've travelled for
So many countries I consider'd me home
But it's a direction that's driving us all
To a place where we'll be alone
